14 NETHODISTUNTY DEFEAT FRELAS Vote Shows Southern Church Likely to Kill Off Proposal. By tbe Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Tenn., September 12. —Indications are that unifications of the Methodist Episcopal Church with the Methodist Episcopal Church South will fail of the constitutional majority in_the Southern church. This was the belief expressed today by A. I. Smith, editor of the Christian Advocate and general organ of the Southern church. “The indications are that the Metho- dist Episcopal Church will vote de- cisively in favor of unification,” he said, #but it is indicated that the Methodist Episcopal Church South will fail to re three-fourths of the total v t in the annual con- ferences which is the constitutional requirement for carrying the meas- ure.” The vote tabulated from the confer- ences which h: reported to Southern Methodist headquarters here shows 623 for and 370 against unification. Tabulation Vote. The tabulations follow: Conference. For Cuba. Baltimore Against. 0 Total vote The Central Brazil and the Brazil conderenc voted unanimously for unificatio! 1though the vote has not been received. Dr. A. J. Lamar, ing Chu! South, a member of the bama conference and a strong op- ponent plan proposed for unification, while claiming to be in or of the principle of unification that the main obstacle in the of ratifi- cation is that the plan now being voted on “does not provide for the settlement of two great questions and make no provisions for a_constitu- tlon for the united church.” He said he considered that “the two branches of Methodist differ in their attitude toward the negro ques- tion and the plan does not provide for the cessation of competition be- tween the two denominations in the same territory, in other words, does not prevent building altar against altar. Says Questions Left ir. “The plan,” Dr. Lamar continued, “leaves too many {mportant ques- tions to be settled after the churches have united. unification there are many questions which must necessarily be left to be settled afterward, but the two vital questions mentioned above, and the form of the constitution for the united church, should be settled be- fore they unite. This plan refers to a constitution, but does not provide one. “I think that for the welfare of the future of Methodism in the South, our people should actept the verdict of the annual conferences when that is rendered, regardless of whether it be for or against ification. The prosperity of Methodism in the Southern States in the future is vastly more important to my mind than the question of unification or non-unification.” senior publish- nt of the Methodist Episcopal |4 Under any scheme of | | Georgetown P.

The man had me by the ear.” America Is Disliked All Over Europe As Cause of Nearly All of Its Misery (Continued from First Page.) ceive the European point of view, par- ticularly with respect of the debts, be- cause the debt question for Europe comprehends all *else. It is the final manifestation to European eves and ears of the meaning of American idealism. In the first place, the war made us the great- est Nation in the world. True, we did not make the war and our expansion was largely unconscious and not a lit- tle at the urgent behest of the na- tions for whom our resources were a precious and an indispensible circum- stance, not merely of victory, but of escape from compiete dis: Never. theless, there is the fa war we bulked ridiculously sm the eves of the world; today we are potentially supreme. Therefore in the European mind, while the nations of the Continent suf- fered and sacrificed for principle, for principles which at a later date we embraced and afirmed with furious zeal, we grew rich and powerful. Only when the struggles had exhausted ail participants did we enter, and then, in the circumstances and hecause of pre- vious efforts, victory came with sur- prisingly little sacrifice on our part. And when the struggle was over we emerged supreme, the single victor, the only nation with enhanced, not crippled, resources. Thus powerful, Europe a lence to p conception. we imposed upon h did vio- ¢ European settlement ac- use Europe under- ed by our strength calmly pudiated the settle- , retired to the security of our shores, disassoclated ourselves from every responsibility Incident to association In a common cause and reappeared only at such es as the discussion of money questions seemed to affect our material in- terests. Victory itself to all European coun tries proved a profitless achievement; the victors sat amidst ruins quite as complete as the vanquished. The struggle for existence took on an almost terrifying aspect; anclent fears were revived by present events. Meantime every report coming from the other side spread and expanded the picture of ease, comfort and wealth there existing, while every cable and every ship brought new insistence upon payment of debts. As a consequence of the war, Brit- ain had surrendered to America not alone supremacy in the world of finance but exclusive mastery of the sea. More than a million and a half British workmen walked the streets maintained by public taxatlon, trade languished, our commercial shipping successfully challenged British all over the world by virtue of the sub- sidy of our Government, taxation within the United Kingdom reached unparalleled helghts, the very eco- nomic life of the Nation ser.:d at stake—and - yet from Washington came the inexorable demand that the war debt be paid. French Illusions Shattered. For France victory was equally fllusory; the rebuilding of the devas- tated areas absorbed the liquld capi- tal of the nation. Promised Ameri- can support by President Wilson in return for surrendering the Rhine barrier, she saw the pledge repudi- ated while American public opinion roughly repulsed all French claim to hold that which she had only sur- rendered against a pledge she re- garded as valid. Nevertheless, at all times American opinion clamored for the reduction of French military strength, the sole protection against the danger America had refused to share. When Germany defaulted on her obligations it was an A 5 plan which intervened permanently to cut two-thirds from the German bill. Yet, with every increasing biter- ness America, officially and unofy cially, demanded the French payment, although France was in the whirl of financial difficulties and monetary crises. Faced with actual bankruptcy at home, France saw herself can fronted by an unylelding creditor abroad. And whatever the merits of the American case, however inexact and unjust the French view, can one | be surprised that millions of French men and women, seeing facts from the French angle, prejudiced and biased, if you . please, find in the policy of America only the revelation of mean and sordid spirit? As for Italy, far worse off finan clally than any other of the great powers involved in the war, she sees the United States at one moment closing her doors to Itallan labor and demanding Italian payment. We in- sist upon getting our money, but in effect we deprive the Italtans of the single avallable source for them of American gold. We have closed our gates to the European laborer, we have erected a tariff wall agalnst European goods, we have invoked prohibition to shut out French wines. But we demand payment. Even Ger- man reparations, the single source of rellef for the allied nations, is bluntly refused by us. U. 8. Only Victor in War. And so, in the end, it comes down to this, that Europe-sees us the single victor in the war, the single nation emerging with unshaken and even ex panded wealth. Quite incorrectly, the | masses set down our prospe to their sacrifices, and in the same fash fon ascribe their misery to us. The German knows he was beaten by our entrance, our assoclates perceive that although we fought with them, we. and not they, have prospered; we, and not they, have emerged stronger and greater. The masses of people who have to endure a lower standard of living are fed upon accounts of the prosperity of the American masses. | And to point the tale comes the de. mand, ever- growing louder, for pay- ments to the fortunate from the un- fortunate. Thus, in sum, while we feel that we have been deceived and are in danger of being defrauded by Europe, there is not a single European nation which does not assoclate its miseries with our actions and our prosperity with its privations. And considering that under present and prospective ar- rangements European debt payments to us are to last for two generations, it s difficult to believe that American unpopularity will disappear in that time. Naturally, as an American I do not share the European point of view, but what strikes me as rather appalling in this country is the total lack of exact appreciation of the depth and vitality of European dislike and distrust of America and Americans based on the sense of cruel and undoubted injus. | tice and desertion. { (Copyright. 1025.) | e S : . | Smoking Car Now Passing. | In some parts of the country, the smoking car, for years a part of every | train almost, is. being taken off as an | unnecessary “luxury” in these da: when the rallroads face reduced pas- aenger travel due to the automobile inroads and the development of bus lines.
